Map Shows Best Cities for Gen Z Graduates
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Gen Z is graduating into an uncertain economic environment. With high tariffs and a possible recession on the horizon, the choice they make in terms of where they live could significantly impact their financial situation. A new report by BizInsure identified the 25 best cities for Gen Z college graduates, based on factors related to tariffs, career growth, and lifestyle. Austin, Texas, took the top spot with San Francisco and Seattle not far behind. Why It Matters Gen Z, born between 1997 and 2012, is entering a turbulent economic outlook as they take their first jobs. According to a Glassdoor report, just 43 percent of Gen Z is optimistic about their employer's business outlook over the next six months. Tariffs, rising prices, and tighter hiring have created concerns across the country. What To Know Austin, Texas, was the top spot for Gen Z graduates to live in 2025, according to BizInsure. Just 2.8 percent of Austin's exports are under retaliatory sanctions, and the city also boasts high job listings (third in the country). Behind Austin, these cities made up the top 10: San Francisco, Seattle, Atlanta, Raleigh, Denver, Dallas, San Jose, Tampa, and Charlotte. The Southern cities ranked high, with Dallas, Houston, and Atlanta scoring 7th, 13th, and 4th, respectively, in the BizInsure report. "Some of these cities attract Gen Z because they're seeking places where they won't be swallowed whole by predatory landlords while trying to pay back crushing and debilitating student debt," Bryan Driscoll, an HR consultant who specializes in generational differences, told Newsweek. "They want affordable housing, genuine work-life balance, and companies that won't ghost them after five interviews." San Francisco, which took the second spot, typically offered high salaries, even for entry-level positions. It also ranked seventh in entertainment offerings, despite scoring 0 out of 10 for rent and overall costs. "Gen Z needs to take full advantage of the tech-driven economic engine that's driving these urban hubs," Kevin Thompson, the CEO of 9i Capital Group and host of the 9innings podcast, told Newsweek. Meanwhile, the bottom five cities were all in California, with Fresno at number 98 and Bakersfield at number 99, both located in the San Joaquin Valley. Residents flock to the Austin Food & Wine Festival at Auditorium Shores on November 2, 2024. Residents flock to the Austin Food & Wine Festival at Auditorium Shores on November 2, People Are Saying Alex Beene, a financial literacy instructor for the University of Tennessee at Martin, told Newsweek: "It may be surprising to some to see cities like Austin and San Francisco topping the list, as recent headlines have focused on the slowing growth of these cities. However, both, along with locations like Seattle and San Jose, offer tech-related positions that are free from the grasps of most of the recently announced tariffs and could be easier to obtain and maintain a new position based on that." Bryan Driscoll, an HR consultant who specializes in generational differences, told Newsweek: "The report is fascinating but also a brutal reminder of what Gen Z and many other generations are up against. Austin topping the list makes sense. It has a relatively affordable tech economy and a community that embraces differences. "But let's not pretend any of these cities are utopias. Most recent grads are still choosing between paying rent or saving anything." Kevin Thompson, the CEO of 9i Capital Group and host of the 9innings podcast, told Newsweek: "None of these cities were surprising. They all share one thing: economic growth and strong job prospects, especially in tech. "Professionally, these cities offer a chance to connect with like-minded, eclectic individuals and be part of a vibrant, fast-paced environment. But long term, many in Gen Z may find themselves wanting to slow down, moving to the suburbs or smaller communities as priorities shift." What Happens Next Cost-of-living factors could still make some cities more financially burdensome for Gen Zers, depending on their income. "Gen Z will have to factor in the cost of living for some of these cities, which certainly can be a dealbreaker unless their career choice pays enough to cover rising expenses," Beene said. "For this reason, more affordable cities in the Southeastern United States like Atlanta and Nashville could offer the best balance of career choices and better costs."

How To Stop Doomscrolling: Gen Z Strategies For Regaining Focus
Doomscrolling, the compulsive and semi-addictive consumption of negative news and social media content, is robbing workers of productivity - and Gen Z is leading the charge to regain online focus. Social media platforms, like TikTok, Instagram and X are designed to exploit our natural 'negativity bias', and creating addictive feedback loops. The end result? Doomscrolling can create irritability, a sense of polarization, lower productivity and time-sucking distraction. In rebuttal to the outrage economy, where snark, fear and FOMO dominate the social media landscape, Gen Z is taking action and leading the way towards a more sane approach to the world of social media. Turns out that disengagement from doomscrolling is helping people to break from anxiety and discover greater resilience. Is this really a good idea? In the U.K., a survey of Gen Z and Gen Alpha discovered that nearly 50% of people polled would prefer growing up without the internet, with a large portion welcoming a social media curfew. The Offline Club of Instagram has over 500,000 followers - kind of ironic that a club promoting a break from social media lives on (wait for it) social media. 'Swap screen time for real time,' is the mantra for the club's members, inviting folks to 'unplug, connect, relax and have fun'. Is that your emotional experience when doomscrolling? (Me either). Have you ever experienced the desire to just 'check out' for a minute, scrolling on the flashlight that brings the bad news in a moment of boredom? (Guilty). Then, two hours later, you realize that you still aren't finished the internet - and the timehole of doomscrolling has stolen hours from your day? According to the National Institute of Health, social media operates on a variable-ratio schedule, much like a slot machine. It's human nature to seek rewards, and the search for new discoveries - such as a like, a comment, a new follower or a humorous meme - leverages our nature into a never-ending search for more rewards, more likes, more memes. It's a straight-up recipe for less productivity, stolen focus, disconnection and avoidance of human conversation. Have you ever fallen into the misunderstanding that likes are the equivalent of social status? Popularity and wisdom are two very different things. The constant bombardment of negative news and polarized opinions can lead to a distorted view of the world, making users believe that humanity is more hostile or divided than it truly is. This contributes to increased anxiety, cynicism, and even hopelessness. How's that emotional smorgasbord helping you to perform better at work, be more present for the relationships you care about, and access your best self? Algorithms prioritize engagement, not well-being, according to Pew Research. What keeps us hooked doesn't necessarily feed our souls, and distraction is the enemy of creativity. Content that keeps you scrolling isn't necessarily content that provides useful information or, quite frankly (checks Instagram to confirm suspicions) anything that's real. Information overload reduces our attention span, makes focusing difficult and causes lost productivity at work. Gen Z is awakening to the ruse, and the illusion of connection, and new movements are stepping away from the scroll in an effort to rediscover what really matters. Here are three ways that Gen Z is backing away from doomscrolling and the pitfalls of social media over-use: What are your digital boundaries? When you are interrupted, it takes over 23 minutes to regain your train of thought, according to scientific studies. This 'resumption lag' has been well-documented. While emails and Slack alerts can cause these kinds of breaks, what happens when we create self-inflicted wounds to our productivity, via doomscrolling? Task-switching can cause significant loss in productivity - but sometimes, it's just part of the job. Managing distraction is an important aspect of time management - and deciding what you let in to your productive time. Are you seeking escape from the daily grind, only to find frustration, negativity and impossible AI-generated videos …when what you really need is to stay on task? You are not alone! Digital boundaries are the key to stopping the doomscrolling, and limiting the negative impact of social media. While the web can provide quite literally a world of information, as well as insights offered up by AI, it can also provide you with a mental cesspool of fake images, negative narratives and polarizing posts. What do you want to include in your life, your work, and your career? Balance, and boundaries, can keep you focused in your career. What do you want to allow into your life? Gen Z is taking steps to regain a stolen focus, and replace doomscrolling with a mindful and deliberate return to greater connection.
